End of Season 2015-2016

This is the end of the season and surprisingly, I am looking forward to next season's planting already.  I remember last year I couldn't wait for the end of the season as I was really burnt out from the work.  This year I am excited to try different things to grow different crops.
Overall, I think this season was a "B" Season.  I wish we had more strawberries, tomatoes, beans, cabbage and squash.  We never got corn, Chinese cabbage, watermelons, or southern peas to the table.  We did have a good crop of carrots, eggplant, cucumbers, and the numbers of strawberries were high but the varmints got to enjoy them instead of us.  The carrots especially were a winner.  The raised bed worked great.  I just need to tweak the angle of the sides as I thought carrots would follow the angle of the sides down.  It seems they just stop growing when they encountered the resistance of the side.  Next year I will do straight sides. We also got cantaloupes for the first time this year.  Another reason I am looking forward to next year, so I can tweak how we grew them.

We did have a great early season "A+" but then we ran out of steam as far as production goes towards the end of the season.  I believe that our fertilizer ran out of gas much more quickly on vegetables towards the end of the season this year, even though I put a season's amount in the crop row.  Always room for improvements!
We also had a raccoon eat through the top of our chicken coop and kill three chickens.  It seems that the end of the season is a very dangerous time for them. I reinforced the coop with hard fence wire to protect the other remaining chickens.  It always seems that when predators are determined to eat chicken for dinner, they find a way into the coop.

Now it is time to remove the drip lines, the plastic mulch, the electric fence, dump all the pots in the greenhouse, recycle the potting soil, till up the ground, plant the cover crop, pull the weeds in the herbs, dump left over trays, pick up all the pots used to pick the produce, and mow the farm.  Maybe I will find a minute to relax as well before we begin planting in July. :)
